I'm trying to understand why the Bitcoin transaction fee is currently so high. It seems to have increased significantly recently, and I'm wondering what factors are driving this increase.

Network congestion on the blockchain competitively raises fees. This phenomenon occurs due to the limited capacity of the blockchain network to process transactions.

The primary factor contributing to high bitcoin miner fees is the supply and demand dynamics. When there are more transactions waiting to be confirmed than the network can handle, miners prioritize transactions that offer higher fees.

The Bitcoin block size is limited to 1MB. This restriction means that miners can only confirm a certain amount of transactions for each block, which is created approximately every ten minutes.

As a result, during periods of high transaction volume, the competition for block space intensifies. Miners are incentivized to include transactions with higher fees in their blocks, leading to an increase in miner fees.
